The bomb blast in these areas was so extreme that an eyewitness alleged to media ‘it was like people in flames walking all around us, their clothes were torn off. Men and Women were walking blazing in a semi-nude condition with burn injuries all over their bodies. All that we shopkeepers did was to enfold bed sheets around the victims’.
